Reforms predicted vote share is dropping almost weekly. From an average 29% in early 2025 they have dropped to below 22%. Most recent polls have them around 20%.

Using Israel as an argument against proportional representation is misleading. Its electoral system is unusual, with no local constituencies or vote for individual candidates. PR isn’t one system. We can have fairer elections and strong local representation. @electoralreform.bsky.social 👇

With Reform dropping to 20% in polls their predicted seat share has plummeted under the FPTP voting system. Perhaps it’s time for Reform to support Proportional Representation again⁉️🤔

It's a good job Suella Braverman claimed £45,000 for water bills on her parliamentary expenses. If she had failed to declare a ten quid overpayment on Universal Credit, she'd have been in serious trouble then.

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

Shocked that Brexit was a Putin Plan? Four years we document confirmation of this by the US Army who saw it as as the “First Step in a Russian Information Blitzkrieg on the West” @nafeez.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2022/03/02/t...

Farage tying himself in angry knots here ... as he refuses to answer the basic question: Is it racist to call Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer"?

Looking backwards? Says a party that wants to go back to imperial measures Which we still use quite a bit actually

For decades, people talked about pedestrianising Oxford Street. Yesterday, we made it happen. Almost 1km of our nation’s most famous high street is now officially traffic-free. And this is just the beginning.

Every aspect of Farage's political history needs close inspection for corruption ... "Transparency International EU calls for investigation into Nigel Farage Brexit campaign use of EU funds" transparency.eu/transparency...

Good. The government is finally catching up with where voters have long been on freedom of movement. Our polling repeatedly shows clear support for the advantages it would bring. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-uk-eu-free-movement-andy-burnham-b3073929.html

UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'. Fiddling at the edges. Need redistribution of income and wealth. End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials. Increase tax personal allowance.

Emily Holzhausen, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at CarersUK, welcomes the Government’s plan to end the Carer’s Allowance earnings cliff edge. This however should be the start as carer's allowance is 5x less than minimum wage, and that is something that needs to be addressed too.

Yet another poll shows Reform dropping to 20% and down to third place. 📉 🌹Lab 27% (no change from 18-19 Oct) 🟦 Con: 22% (-1) ➡️ Ref UK: 20% (-2) 🔶 Lib Dem: 11% (=) 💚 Green: 10% (=) ▪️Restore: 4% (+1) 🟡 SNP: 2% (=) 🟢 Plaid Cymru: 1% (=) @yougov.co.uk

A big step forward and a testament to all the carers who’ve campaigned against this injustice. But is the government really saying: if carers get a pay rise or work more hours, it will take back every penny of their extra income? A 100% tax rate? That can’t be right.

Can't wait to read Liz Truss's new book.

Today marks the transformation of one of the most iconic streets in the world. Oxford Street is now traffic-free. Here’s why that matters for Londoners.

Drilling the North Sea dry will not bring down energy bills. It just leaves us exposed to volatile fossil fuel prices. We must invest in home-grown renewables to deliver cheaper bills, greater energy security & a cleaner future. 🌱 Oil and gas are a thing of the past. Renewables are the future.

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

Flavio Bolsonaro crying after losing the election. I hope that cheered up your day.

We need a breathing space budget: a Budget that slashes the cost of essential energy, fuel duty and public transport costs, and the high costs hammering hospitality businesses on our high streets.

Freedom of movement gave British people the chance to work, study and build a life across the EU. Restoring it would open those opportunities again.… #FreedomOfMovement

It is budget week. We are calling for a budget that cuts the costs of living. The Chancellor must listen to our plans, so households across Britain have the support they need. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Ten years on, the Brexiters plan to leave the EU and cosy up with the US looks even more disastrous. That their Brexit was boosted by Putin makes it even more historically catastrophic. We mustn’t forget the people who did this or let them near power again bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/w...
